Why should moving your luggage be like a trip to Gold's Gym? Take ordinary radio-control car technology, attach a hitch, and have the car tow the luggage! For kicks, you can have smash-up derbies in front of the check-in desk. Who said air travel had to be boring.

       Just build it into the suitcase, make the outer surface of the suitcase/briefcase from PV material and slip an electric motor into the axle assembly of each wheel. Radio control unit and Voila!   

       Problem: Too easy to rig a radio-controlled bomb into the thing as an afterthought.

       They're usually concerned about the "bomb" part, not the "radio-controlled" part.   

       But it would take a lot of concentration to steer, and it would be likely to tip over, and the mechanism would make it doubly heavy when you do need to pick it up.   

       Isn't this what skycaps are for?

       Program in some Butt Recognition Scanning capability, so it could take a digitised image of its owner's butt. Then it would just have to look up, match your butt with the one in memory and it could follow you wherever you went.

       Small, mobile, sniffs butts? Why not just get a little dog, train it *really* well, and strap a suitcase to one of those vest things you see on little old ladies' pooches.

       Sorry waugs. I didn't realise I had rebaked your shopping cart idea. Must've missed it in the melee.
